| Details | Issue: Certain vans equipped with an integrated backup battery do not have a cover installed over the front passenger’s seat base. As a result, if an object made of a conductive material is dropped into the opening, it could make contact with the battery terminals. This could result in a short circuit. Safety Risk: A short circuit could increase the risk of a fire. Corrective Actions: Mercedes-Benz will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to install a cover over the front passenger’s seat base. Consumers should not use a seat base with a battery as a storage compartment. |
